Franco Pacelli founded WhatGym in 2014. He emails, “As a gym owner and fitness enthusiast, I want to improve the relationship between the business and the consumer. WhatGym’s platform and mobile app help fitness-minded people, including business travelers and tourists, find gyms or studios for drop-in classes or long-term memberships. Users search a variety of factors, including location, amenities, type of workout, and price. WhatGym also helps fitness studios and gym owners attract members and increase revenues. Currently active in the New York City metropolitan area, we plan to expand to all major U.S. cities.”
